Hi. I'm from the San Antonio area and had my individual evaluation on May 14th. Dr. Carcamo will be my surgeon as well. I am scheduled to see the nutritionist on June 10th.

I just started my two-week Atkins diet on Wednesday. I have absolutely no energy right now, hopefully it gets better soon. As of right now I will be having my surgery on June 25th with Dr. Carcamo. They said it was a tentative date so I hope nothing changes. Best of luck Drew05 and GinaJ.:)

Hey Drew and Gina,

I was banded this morning!:thumbup: I was told to be there at 6:30 a.m. and that my surgery would probably be around 9:00 or 9:30. I think someone may have cancelled today though because I was in the OR by 8:00. I was walking out the doors there a little after 11:00 and was home by 12:30. My DH is great and is taking great care of me. So is my mom. Everything went great. I am hardly in any pain:thumbup: and I hope it stays that way. Just some gas pains in my chest and in my left shoulder. I was happy to see that I lost 10 pounds on my pre-op diet.:) Well, I'm off to bed. Just wanted to update you. Hope all is well with you!

Jeanette

Hey there merry San Antonian Bandsters:),

I wish your success with your upcoming surgeries and luck with the band. This is a great site. I use it when I need encouragement...which right now happens to be everyday.

I was banded by Dr. Stegemann through New Dimensions Weight Loss.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
